Changing font sizes for single canvas elements

sarah_alexandra

Dear Forum,

I have a question about accessing and changing font sizes of elements that are part of a canvas. For my experiment, I created a canvas consisting of different text elements. Since I want to change the font size of some of those elements, I was wondering whether this is possible and what is the right way to do it?

I found the function for changing the font of the entire canvas (my_canvas.set_font("font", font size)), but I only want to access single text elements and change their font size. Is there maybe a similar way to do so like when changing the color of a text element (my_canvas["element_name"].color = "color")?

I am looking forward to your recommendations!

Thanks a lot in advance :)

Best, Sarah

Hi @sarah_alexandra ,

You can do this by using *style_args and setting the font_size keyword argument:

# Create a canvas with two text elements
my_canvas = Canvas()
my_canvas['string1'] = Text("I like", x=0, y=0, font_size=30)
my_canvas['string2'] = Text("programming", x=0, y=100)
my_canvas.show()

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Lotje
